No I‘M not justifying it. The whale was justifying it, showing why she did it, literally reversing the roles of the show while killing the trainer. It was very clear it was revenge and the animal felt abused by the trainer, which is perfectly understandable unless you lack brain cells because humans turn violent when locked in cells, and the little swimming pools they keep these giant orcas in would be the equivalent of being contained in the smallest cell in the world, they get depressed quickly.

If you‘re asking why the animal did it or call it cruel that‘s just stupid, it took a number of years for the animal to flip, it gave us plenty of chances to stop abusing it for our entertainment. It‘s not surprising that an orca attacked a trainer, like I said you need to look at their little @ss swimming pool and realize orcas can and often will swim around the entire earth regularly unless noise pollution is to high. What‘s surprising is that there was only one incident of an orca flipping.
